Sonya Legg

Senior Research Oceanographer and Lecturer

Physical Oceanography/Ocean Circulation

Current role in the field of ocean sciences: Faculty

Area(s) of expertise within ocean sciences: Ocean mixing and turbulence, including tidally generated internal waves and gravity currents, and their parameterization in climate models and influence on large-scale circulation and climate.

Interest in becoming a mentor: I find mentoring a great way to meet and learn from the next generation of ocean scientists, while sharing my experiences, particularly as a female scientist, with students who may have had only limited access to role models apart from their adviser.
